My New York Times reporter is Victor Mather. Mather covers all sports for the Times.

Mather writes all of his stories giving you all of the facts of what took place during the event, he describes a clear picture of what happened to give you straight forward news.

Mather does a good job of giving you background information on different players so you have a better understanding of what is going on. I am getting better at picking out which paragraph is his nut graf.

In Mathers leads you know exactly what it is he will be talking about, he is very direct with his delivery, his writing is very clear. All of his following paragraphs support his lead and you can see what his main point is. All of Mathers quotes fit well with his story, I enjoy how he will close a story with a picture or a strong quote to give the story more emotion.

Reading Mathers work I am able to see how different transitions help to tie the story together, which is something I need to work on in my personal writing. Also, I need to improve my ability to organize all of my ideas into a storytelling format.
